shoulder rolls
Circular trapezius warmup
Shoulder rolls are a simple exercise or stretch in which you rotate your shoulders in a circular motion, typically rolling them up toward your ears, back, down, and forward in sequence.
They're commonly used to relieve tension, warm up before physical activity, or improve posture: She did a few shoulder rolls before settling into her desk chair.
